> TODO:
> 1. I haven't hooked up all the boilerplate for every pass. With New Pass Manager (NPM) certain passes become specific to Module/Function/Loop and need adaptors to pass to the FunctionPassManager/ModulePassManager
> 2. I haven't tested with SVML patches in LLVM nor with SVML in general. I don't expect too much work beyond rebasing the LLVM patch however. Would appreciate any guidance on how to do this
> 3. Currently I don't have a conda package for LLVM. Would appreciate any help on getting that set up
>
> High-level details:
> 1. The llvm-c APIs have not been updated from NPM. AFAICT the "c" APIs are ad-hoc maintained by whoever uses them. We can definitely bring up that boilerplate but currently the setup is using the C++ APIs
> 2. NPM has additional state for analysis managers it needs to carry. It also \*\*must\*\* be initialized by the pass builder before using. I've kept the high level python APIs as close as before but we can certainly re-evaluate how we want to expose these to keep things simpler
> 3. Opaque pointers means types can no longer be queried on pointers. Instead I've updated the general type query to use \`global\_value\_type\` which looks at the value rather than the pointer
Open to feedback here or in the PR itself 🙂

Looks like I can’t add reviewers, if someone wouldn’t mind editing the PR lol
